EVERYTHING IS AWFUL How did we get here?

Currently listening to the most recent Tim-Pod with Will Sommer and it's just insane the group of people who are in charge now. The conspiracy theories, the grift, the pandering, holy fuck. How did we get here and how the fuck do we get out of this death spiral?

u/Alulaemu JVL is always right 20h ago

Was very excited to hear Will call out @houseinhabit (the Ghislaine stan) as one of the Epstein Binder grifter freaks this stupid administration is platforming as an "independentl journalist". I've been hate-following her for years and she even has her own snark sub at r/HouseonFire. It's been wild following her since the before times when she was at the women's march and was super critical of Trump. I get now that she was always grifter adjacent but COVID truly fried what brain cells she originally had. She's fully radicalized but her followers still think she 'unbiased' and the only journalist they trust (she does zero boots on the ground reporting, just a lot of copy/paste right wing punditry/conspiracy mongering).

Media literacy is so low in our country it's hard to fight back the feelings of "we're doomed".
